So should those high ranking players that want to keep an honorable amount of points have an incentive to now play Terminator games with anyone except players of equal rank?

Good point, it'll probably greatly reduce suicides because low ranked players have a tendency to suicide on high ranked players in terminator games.

Idea and what it means : Fog of Rank. When you decide to join/start a game, you will not know who you are playing nor the rank of the other players. The only thing you would see would be the colors of your opponents and that's it.

Why I think this should be implemented as a choice of game style : I think this would be a unique game style that would add a different experience and a lot more fun while playing. Have you higher ranks ever had someone suicide into you just because you were ranked high and they didn't want you to win? Have you ever had someone suicide into you just because you play them a lot and they don't like you? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this feature would help you out quite a bit from those idiots who suicide into you just because you are kicking everyones asses or because your a high rank.

Posting my support of an Anonymous mode of some sort. My brother and I enjoy playing with our friends, but we all know each other really well. As a result things often get personal which affects players to act in an unnatural way. In other words, if it were anonymous they would not behave the way the do at times. Would be nice to play with the same people but remove that from the equation if desired.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:It would make higher rank players more inclined to play more open games since they wouldn't be playing with a HUGE target on their head to begin the game with. Yes, people can just check the scoreboard, but it's less likely, too many low ranks just suicide on high rankers for lolz

Game is joined, starts and is played anonymously. The only time you find out who you were playing against is after the game is over

Specifics/Details:

-Players would be listed as Player1, Player2, Player3, etc., respective to when they joined.-There would be no way to tell which player was which until the game was completely over.

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:

Would be a fun way to play a game with a group of players and no one would know rank/identity so there would be no prejudice during the game against higher ranked players, people you don't like, new recruits, friends etc..I feel this would add an extra element to games in that you could not assume anything about any of the other players since it would be completely anonymous. I'm sure there are holes in this idea since I haven't tried to find any and just thought of it but I feel it is at least worth investigating?

I like it, but I don't think it needs to be implemented. As a higher ranked player (mostly Major+) you are often targeted by others especially in terminator.

Are you suggesting that this be an option when starting a game- such as "Fog", "Trench", etc.? Or are you proposing a blindfold tourney scenario? I like the idea, and think it could be an interesting thing to at least try.

I suppose a tourney could be arranged with all games having this option checked but yes, I envisioned it being an option such as "Fog" and "Trench". Thanks for expanding on the idea.

well, if you try to avoid cooks and to lose 100 points it's a problem... but then i suppose you don't join those kind of games. Otherwise it's true that the higher you're ranked the more it's a pain to play terminator, on the other hand the lower you are ranked, the more a higher ranked player with no chance to win will try to favour the other higher ranked players to lose a minimum of points..
